Hallway & stairs
Comments (0)We want to replace a worn (cat damaged!) stair carpet with Vinyl on steps & in our hallway. We live in a reasonable sized 3 bed house. The hallway area is approx 4m by .8 m and the area under the stairs is approx 2m by 1m. There is a coir matting by the front door which is about 1 m & .8m. The stairs (11 steps) & landing are approx 3.4 sq m & the passageway to the bathroom is about 4 m by .8 m, making about 9 sq m in total!...See MoreStairs and Hallway Vamp up:
Comments (26)I think you did a splendid job here. The dark and white woodwork is very well handled, and I like the color of the wallpaper and the stair runner. Tight spaces can be tough to manage, but you’ve done a fine job, it looks very inviting. I was particularly interested in the last photo; I have almost the exact setup in my own home, with a facing wall as you come down the stairs, and a shelf with various items on display (mine is quite the dust-catcher, I must admit). The space has always been a little dark, so I am planning to cut out an interior window, centered on the wall above the shelf, and mount a stained glass panel there. Since our guest room above it is bathed in bright southern sunlight, I am expecting a happy result. I just have to find the right window… I like the practical use you are getting from the space under the stairs, too. A perfect little spot to sit for a moment. Great job!...See MoreWWYD under stairs in entrance hall?
Comments (2)If that isn't something you want to do you could always introduce a colour in the corner there to distract the eye, maybe a piece of artwork and lighting?...See MoreDo I need an architect?
Comments (12)There seems to be a gulf of misunderstanding between the architectural profession and clients. It is clear to (good) architects that a good architect will transform any project and the cost of that service will bring enormous value to the client. However, there any many non-professionals who haven't trained for 7 years that are all too willing to offer a service which is perceived by the public as being very similar only at a lower cost - unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth. A builder won't help you as he is likely to be looking at any project from his commercial perspective and anyway he is unlikely to have any design training. A technical service will be able to produce plans, but not architecture or great design, therefore a good architect is the obvious solution. However, selection of the right architect is just as important as we do not all do the same thing; it is most important to find someone whose work matches your style and that you can build a great working relationship with, rather than an architect who gives the lowest quote. We do not do this type of project, but concentrate on complete new homes - especially paragraph 55 homes. I hope that this advice is of use and that you find a great architect to work with....See MoreM Henderson
